“Native Gardens” opened at the Mead Center for American Theater on Friday. The play runs until Oct. 22 at the center’s Arena Stage.

The comedy features actors Jacqueline Correa and Dan Domingues as Tania and Pablo Del Valle, a couple who move to Washington, D.C., next door to Frank and Virginia Butley, played by Steve Hendrickson and Sally Wingert. Pablo is a young lawyer and Tania is a pregnant Ph.D. candidate while the Butleys are a deeply rooted D.C. couple.

Trouble ensues over a conflict about a fence that could disrupt the Butleys’ prize-worthy garden. According to the Arena Stage, the comedy challenges “everyone’s notions of race, privilege and where to draw the line on good taste.”
